Built a free SEC Form 4 insider trade tracker. The paid ones aren't worth what they charge.
There's a cluster of paid Form 4 / insider trading apps charging $20-30/mo. Most of them aren't bad. They have scoring, filters, sparklines, decent UI. The problem is the price. $250-360/year is terminal-grade pricing for what's fundamentally a presentation layer over public SEC data. Plenty of value at $5/mo, hard to justify at $25.
So I built insidertrack.app. Free.
What's in it:
- 14-component scoring on every Form 4 (transaction type, role, insider track record, notional vs. comp, cluster detection, days-to-earnings, drawdown context, etc.) so you can filter noise from signal
- Insider track records: win rate and average return at 30/90/180 days, per insider, so you can see who actually picks well over time
- Cluster detection: multiple insiders buying in the same window flagged automatically
- Social overlay: Reddit and HackerNews mentions tied to the same companies, so you can see where chatter meets filings
- 4000+ ticker pages with full Form 4 history, sparkline, and recent trades
- Methodology page with the academic papers behind the scoring weights, no black box
Free because the marginal cost of letting people in is roughly zero. SEC data is public; hosting is $48/mo.
Try it: insidertrack.app. Open to pushback, especially on the scoring weights.
